25 Minutes of Half-Blood Prince in IMAX 3-D

The last time we had anything to report on Warner Bros' Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, it was the decision by the studio to move the highly-anticipated sixth installment to next summer from its original release date in November. As disappointing as that may have been, fans who enjoyed the 17 minutes of IMAX 3-D sequences in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix should be thrilled by the fact that there will be even more 3-D for the next installment.

Last month, during the IMAX Corporation's 2008 Q2 Earnings Report conference call, Rich Gelfond, the Co-Chairman and Co-CEO of the IMAX Corporation told shareholders, "we believe this film will include approximately 25 minutes in IMAX 3-D split between the opening sequence of the film and the finale."

It'll be almost ten months before we'll see which sequences exactly will be in 3-D, but who knows? Maybe we'll even see a bit of 3D Quidditch next time.

In the meantime, you can watch the teaser for the IMAX teaser trailer which played with The Dark Knight here.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will open in IMAX and conventional theaters on July 17, 2009.

the trailer portrays a interesting part in the book and depicts it very well. Can't wait to see this adaptation of Half Blood Prince..was the best book out of the series

So does that mean that Deathly Hallows could be predominately 3-D?

Why are the Potter movies so bad? I can't sit through one of them without rolling my eyes at least once.

I highly doubt that they will change the ending and of course there is hardly any action when the only important things that happen in this one is in the last quarter of it.
